Your friend just got over the flu and after a week in bed sipping water and nibbling crackers you want to send a gourmet food gift/get well gift to help fill her food-deprived stomach. Here are some helpful guidelines about foods that pack the most minerals and nutrients and should be eaten in large quantities during flu season.
By glancing at this list before creating your menu, you can perhaps prevent your friend from suffering a relapse.

While all vitamins and minerals are important to keep an immune system up during flu season, here are four that are particularly important to try to get in your diet each day, according to www.familyeducation.com.
